16. Goodwill is an awful, abusive organization

I work there and it is dreadful. Dangerous working conditions. Injure yourself you are gone. Medieval pay, except upper management, which pays itself quite well.
They create high paying jobs for relatives and friends to spread the wealth from your donations. Low paid store cashiers haven't had a raise in years. Psychopathic, inept and cruel management. Look at their reputation online and you will see. I am an old fat woman and can't seem to find other work or I would leave gladly. I have posted this before for those who don't know. There are many better places to donate your goods. I use habitat. Hope to work at habitat sometime soon.
